I have a calculator that I bought in ‘86. I don’t use it all the time but it is still running on the original batteries. It got me through college. (No solar on it either.) Every time I use it I’m impressed. Maybe it should be checked for radiation…
Back when cell phones used to say batt low, a co-worker had just bought a new one, and announced one day that he missed a call from “A Mister Battlow.” From then on, we’d be calling him to the phone, telling him Mr Battlow wanted him.

The old calculators seem to last longer. Or maybe it’s the old batteries….

I think we new calculators you just toss them out and buy a new one.
